medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear listmembers:
For a paper I am working on, I am gathering texts on the festivities
of Baptism and Epiphany, trying to distinguish between Western and
Eastern churches.
Forgive my ignorance: the 2nd-century Christian author Tertullian, can
be considered a member of the Western Church? I rely on the Catholic
Encyclopaedia (s. v. "Eastern Churches"): "The root of this division
is, roughly and broadly speaking, the division of the Roman Empire
made first by Diocletian (284-305)", i.e., after Tertullian's life.
"Another distinction, that can be applied only in the most general and
broadest sense, is that of language", and Tertullian wrote both Latin
and Greek treatises.
Any help should be appreciated
Carlos Sastre
